We are going to start from day one when I first got the truck
It's was a one owner truck and for the price I could not pass it up
It's a 2wd automatic 5.7
Now the build starts

I then went and removed the chrome plating/trim and moldings from the truck
What a pain that was

After removing all the molding it was on to address the little leaks and do some maintenance
I went ahead and did Intake manifold gaskets, valve cover gaskets, timing chain and gears, timing cover, oil pump and oil pan gasket.... etc

I then started to do some research on what brand of lowering components I was going to use and how low I was going to go
In the long run I went with djm parts and 5/8 drop
Also me and my dad built a c notch for the truck instead of using the supplied one from djm
Here are some pictures don't have hardly any of the front

The inside of the c notch was boxed in as well
